Finished my HMT paint job.....56k maybe
 

Well this took me over 3 months to do but I'm pretty lazy, I was only working on it a couple days a week. Let me tell you bodywork/sanding is a pain in the ass, painting it was pretty fun. Turned out ok for my first paint job, could have used more clear but after the 2nd coat I couldn't see or breathe anymore :P. This was all done in a front attached garage with a dinky fan as ventilation. Oh white isn't my first choice of colour but it's the easiest to paint, you see less flaws and blemishes.

Fenders, bumpers and hood came off to make things easier and cleaner

Shaved spoiler, antenna and emblems,done with fibreglass and bondo to smooth it over. We'll see how well that holds out. >:D

I primered the whole car but it's not really neccesary. You just need to primer the bondo spots but I decided to do the whole thing as practice using the gun. Damn primer was messy.

Re: Finished my HMT paint job.....56k maybe
 

nice work. White hides bodywork/bondo pretty good. my other accord was white, it also had about a gallon of bondo in it, but looked real fresh even up close.

nice work hong, looks like i'll be doing the same this winter... want to lend me your paint gun? :)

Re: Finished my HMT paint job.....56k maybe
 

I just couldn't stand the purple anymore, pretty good sleeper though lol. Still needs to be buffed but I'm just worried that'll I'll burn through it with my power polisher/sander. Also trying to figure out what type of compound I should use to buff it with.
